Rebirth 14
Yonas paused for a long moment, making Yasmine think he wouldn't say anything. Finally, he replied. "It's a friend." His tone sounded distant, almost cold.
Yasmine wasn't one to pry into other people's lives, so she changed the topic. "Mr. Russell, if it's not too much trouble, could you tell me what symptoms your sister is experiencing?"
"She can't stand the sight of blood, has occasional memory lapses, and if she encounters a strange male, she might gag and scream. In some situations, she loses control and panics." He spoke with a detached indifference.
Yasmine listened closely, deep in thought. These symptoms seemed to indicate severe anxiety. Maybe Yoselin had gone through something traumatic that left her deeply scared.
Before she could share her thoughts, Linda came in with some clothes and said, "Ms. Sanchez, the water is ready. Here are Ms. Russell's clothes, and they should fit just fine
Yasmine thanked her and headed to the bathroom to shower and change. However, she didn't expect to feel this weak; by the time she finished drying her hair and putting on the clothes, her cheeks were flushed and her eyes sparkled a bit too much
Yonas paused and then placed his hand on her forehead to check her temperature and sighed. "You have a fever."C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Feeling lightheaded, Yasmine found his voice oddly comforting. She instinctively protested. 'T'm fine. Please call Lucy. She'll
come get me
Maybe it was the fever, but she looked soft and a little vulnerable. Yonas gaze was cold yet filled with concern a down, picked her up, and dialed Lucy's number.

In her dizzy state, Yasmine leaned closer to him. His warm breath near her ear as he said, "Linda, I'm taking her to the hospital first.
When Yasmine woke up, Yonas was already gone. All she heard was Lucy's relieved voice. "Yasmine, you're awake! Are you hungry? I had someone bring you some oatmeal
Yasmine had barely eaten all day, and her stomach growled in response. After taking the oatmeal, she remembered last night's events and asked, "Lucy, who brought me to the hospital?
Lucy smiled meaningfully. "I didn't get a chance to ask. But where did you meet that handsome guy? He's so charming and such a gentleman!"
"Then that must've been Yonas, Yasmine thought, feeling a little flutter in her chest.
Lucy continued, "Tve never seen such a good-looking guy. Yasmine, he's way better than that jerk Xavier. How were you with him? Why did he bring you to the hospital?"
Yasmine rubbed her temples, feeling overwhelmed by her questions. She briefly recounted the events while only referring to Yonas as a friend..
After hearing about Xavier's behavior, Lucy got furious and shifted her focus away from Yonas. "Damn! Xavier is so shameless! He talks tough but never delivers. All because of those crazies named Yvette and her family, he made you sick! I'm calling him right now!" Yasmine stopped her softly. "No need for that. He didn't do anything wrong. The house is in his name, and he can do what he wants After all, the paperwork is still being processed."
Lucy looked frustrated. "But he promised to give it to you."
Mon, Sep
Yasmine reassured her. "Don't worry, no one can push me around."
But she did need a place to stay for now. When she opened her phone to check for nearby rentals, she saw a new contact on WhatsApp along with two new messages. [I'm Yonas.]
[Things got hectic yesterday, so I left early. Your friend was looking out for you. I added you on WhatsApp through her.]
Thinking about what happened yesterday, Yasmine replied, [Thanks for yesterday.]
Remembering her need for a place to live, she added: [Mr. Yonas, could you tell me how your sister bought her place? I need to rent somewhere near Aurelith University.] After hitting s
send, she felt a little awkward for being so direct. Luckily, Yonas didn't reply right away, which eased her nerves.
As she was feeling better, she didn't want to linger in the hospital Once she completed her discharge paperwork with Lucy, she called Xavier and asked, "Where are you now?" "What do you want?" Xavier frowned, sounding indifferent.
"Let's go to the courthouse for the divorce."
